Love the rig, writing style and chosen roads...looking forward to the next installment!
Nice story but, its like checking out a one of a kind book from the library. Your reading it and toward the end of the book you find out that the last 70 pages are missing... WTH.. Ruins it when you dont know the ending... Still thanks for sharing what you did and the pics..

You know, looking back I'm not even sure how we got there, but we spent a night or two at Lake Nacimiento just northwest of Paso Robles. It was a great place to calm down and cool off and I think we even hooked a fish or two. We still had 5 or 6 days to kill before my woman flew into San Francisco - not that that'd be a problem at all. We still had 100% of the Big Sur area to explore. Surprisingly, or maybe not, there are not very many pictures from that part of the trip. I'm thinking loose steering + incredible, curving, winding roads don't make for very good photo ops. But no matter, I'll show you what I got and we'll keep on.

From Nacimiento we doubled back and got on The One, as Californians would say. We headed north, ever so slowly toward SF through Big Sur. Again, for those of you that don't know, Big Sur is an incredibly rough, rocky, green, lush and dense part of the world. If any of you Easterners ever had problems with the IRS, etc - this would be a fantastic place to hide out for seven years or so. Matter of fact, at least half of the people I met here were visibly hiding from something or someone - and the others were hoping like hell their manuscript would get the green light from some far-off publishing company. Writers and outlaws make for natural bedfellows, it turns out. Both are apt to sleep in the hills, bathe in the culvert runoff beside the highway and fill their water jugs in mountain spring trickles. So, when in Big Sur and among the natives...

And for purely illustrative purposes, here's a photo of what Big Sur will do to you. I had short hair and a clean face before I entered the forest.

The next set of photos I have start off in SF and then trail west to Yosemite and then north to the Tahoe / Truckee area. I could see myself spending a few years around Yosemite and the surrounding area - incredibly beautiful, remote, pristine. The trails are endless, the wildlife plentiful and the mountains just sit and watch it all.
And it was a shame, you know, that the California coast decided to hit us with the June Gloom in late July. Everything I saw was beautiful, only problem was I only saw about half of it. You'll notice some of that as we move along here.
